CALTRANS GRANT FOR 1-680/SR 24 Transportation Mitigation Program Funds
September 9, 1997
Page 2
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
On December 10, 1996, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution agreeing to
sponsor a grant application to Caltrans for 1-680/State Route 24 Transportation Mitigation
Program funds, on behalf of the Contra Costa Centre Association. Grant applications'for
the 1-680/SR 24 Traffic Mitigation Program must be submitted by or sponsored by public
agencies. The Contra Costa Centre Association requested the County to act as sponsor
of the application.
The Association submitted a joint application with Shadelands Office Park for the Caltrans
1-680/SR 24 Traffic Mitigation Program to fund an employee transit incentive program. The
Program will target 600 employees and would provide staffing and a kiosk at each center
to sell transit tickets two days a week.. The grant request is for $248,500 and would fund
acquisition of transit passes, staffing and employee incentives for using transit. The
program is similar to a previous program at the Centre Association.
The grant application has been approved by Caltrans for funding. Funding for this
proposal will require that only those employees presently commuting through the
reconstruction zone would be offered incentive. The Contra Costa Centre Association
must now prepare a detailed technical cost proposal, timeline and budget for one year.
This Board Order is required to approve a resolution (see Exhibit A) authorizing staff to
enter into a contract for services specified in the application and in the Contra Costa
Centre Association's technical cost proposal.
A separate agreement will be drafted between the County and the Contra Costa Centre
Association defining our mutual responsibilities in implementing the transit incentive
program.
